Referees ensure UVF’s Winkie Irvine given lenient sentence for firearms charges


Listen Later

UVF commander Winston ‘Winkie’ Irvine has been jailed after being caught with guns. He was sentenced to 30 months with half served on license after being caught with weapons and ammunition in the boot of his car. The judge said Irvine’s work as a ‘peacemaker’ meant that the minimum five-year tariff was inappropriate after glowing references from high-profile government and security officials were heard in court. 

Ciarán Dunbar is joined by Sam McBride.
